Greetings XIV'ers,

In the recent change in events, it is with a heavy heart that I write this weeks report.

WING NEWS

- VA Wil Striker resigns his positions as the Intrepid COM and transfers to the Reserves. He will be missed.

- The Intrepid Top Gun Ladders are still in progress. There are seven more weeks left. Remember to report all matches to me at: ge_phantom2002@yahoo.com.

- Cobra Squad has a new patch for the TTT. Credit, I believe, goes to CM Kettch for his time and contribution for his effort on this. Congrats!

- FL apps are closed in Copperhead. A new FL has been chosen and is pending approval from the FO.

- Cobra Flight III FL is still open for applications. Please send all apps to MAJ Blade at: eh_blade2003@yahoo.com.

- There is a status check taking place in Copperhead. Please respond or there WILL be consequences.

- Krayt Squad has a new home, again. Krayt's new home can be found here: http://krayt.squadron.org/

- Krayt Squad now has a Squad patch. Congrats to LCM CrimsonFury on his efforts!

- CM Faliaj Shai has joined the ranks of Diamondback and the ISD Intrepid. Welcome CM!

TIE CORPS NEWS

- EH Meeting Trivia - Just a reminder that the Emperor's Hammer weekly meeting in #Emperor's_Hammer now features trivia. The winner of trivia receives an IS-BR, or an IS-SR if attendance is above 80. Encourage everybody you know to show up online for the meeting at 12 noon EST.


- LA Taking IRC Leave - As announced in my latest report, I'm taking an indefinate leave from IRC. I will still be around and active, just need a break from IRC for a while to sort some things out. If you need me you can use AIM (Darknyte22) or email me at darknyte@alltel.net. Once I get sorted, I'll come back to IRC full swing, but until then expect to see me rarely, mainly at meetings or in non-mainstream EH channels.


- ChalCOM Email Change - The Challenge Commodore, Rear Admiral Sephiroth, has changed his email address to tc-sephiroth@tcinternet.net. Please update your address books accordingly.


- Wing Commander Appointment - Congratulations to the former Omicron CMDR, Lieutenant Colonel Wysseri Arestar, who has been selected as the new Wing VIII WC.

With the retirement of General Drake, the position of Wing IX Wing Commander is open for applications. If you think you have what it takes to be a Wing Commander, email the COM, RA Jahan Kalar and the BGCOM, AD Krax by Sunday May 18th at 23:59 CST. The requirements are:

- At least one successful tour as CMDR or above (4 months)
-No major HCI convictions during the last 12 months
-Commitment to the position of at least four months
- Experience with XWA (TIE experience highly recommended)
- Ability to reliably handle significant amounts of admin work to keep things running smoothly
- Ability to create and run various competitions
- Reliable and quick email response
- A sincere desire to make Wing IX the best it possibly can be and a commitment to the Tie Corps and the Relentless
-Ability to handle numerous command decisions in a fair and mature manner


Include any plans you have for the Wing, especially in regards to moral, activity and recruitment. All officers who feel they meet the above requirements will be considered, but egomaniacs, crackpots, abusive jerks, and anyone who's in it for the rank should look elsewhere.

- Flight Member Maximum Rank Extended - I have received approval from the Fleet Commander to extend the maximum attainable rank as a Flight Member from Lieutenant Commander to Commander. To be eligible for this rank, a FM must have spent at least THREE months in their current position. Time is not the only consideration for such a promotion - activity during this period must also be a factor.

The database won't support the submission of these promotion recommendations yet, however Wing Commanders can email me the request and I'll do it manually. The Training Manual, Fleet Standing Orders and Squadron Management notes will be updated over the coming days.

- Promotion Time -
Congratulations to the Elite Avenger Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Dax Corrin, who has been promoted to Colonel for his work in recent months.

Congrats also go out to the Wing Commander of Wing IV, Major Mayk Wolverine, who is promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in recognition of his Flag work.

WING COMMANDER'S RAMBLINGS

In light of the issue with VA Wil retiring, leaving his COM position, life on the Intrepid will go on. Granted, morale here is a bit low, making it difficult for most to perform their duties. What we need to do now, is look to our future and try to bring order back to the Intrepid.

All duties will go on.

WING COMMANDER'S ORDERS

Our number in pilots are starting to drop. This months major issue will be to recruit! I would like to see our Wing at full potential.

Another issue, is MP activity. The ASF is meant to be a MP Battle Group. I have set up a ladder competition as a means to boost this activity. I would like to see more participation from ALL pilots on the Intrepid.

That is all. Now get active!
